Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf)
WOLLENSKY'S Grill May Be Coming to the Boston Waterfront
It looks like a chain of high-end steakhouses may be looking to bring a more casual eatery to Boston's Waterfront.
According to Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who was mentioned in a Boston Globe article on retail resurgence in Boston, Smith & Wollensky is apparently checking out Atlantic Wharf as a place to open Wollensky's Grill, a new, lower-priced concept from the steakhouse that currently has a location in the Midtown East section of Manhattan (on E 49th Street). Wollensky's Grill features steaks as well as burgers, club sandwiches, ribs, lamb chops, and pan-roasted chicken, with prices for entrees being mostly in the teens and twenties (steaks are in the thirties).
Smith & Wollensky currently has one location for their steakhouse in Boston, at 101 Arlington Street in an historic building that is known to many as "The Castle."
Atlantic Wharf is a mixed-use residential, retail, and office development wedged between the Rose Kennedy Greenway and Fort Point Channel by Congress Street, about a block north of South Station. The redeveloped building sits on what used to be called Russia Wharf.
